You just can't put chevY and MBZ in the same class guys
as I stated in the past for a 1/4 of the cost of our cars we can all drive 8sec civics
But it's not an MBZ. Did anyone here buy there car thinking it was the fastest out there? or did you buy it because of what it is

His kits are on par with most what i have seen. I did think about going with UGR and Keivn is a super guy. What problems have you seen with Paolo kits?

I just think Paolo is a F#ck up! He designed that system in his garage with no mechanical training and very little knowledge about how engines work. He just read some books and decided he was a tuner. The guy actually blew the hell out of the motor in his car because it was wayyyy out of tune after taunting all of the tuners an proclaiming that he would have the highest hp car on Earth!
Kevin knows his stuff, he's a super nice guy and his cars make big power. Hennessey, Heffner, Doug Levin, and Jr. at SVS are all friends of mine too. Call ANY ONE besides Paolo!

Ok, you have a choice. You spend ~$70 + stealer juice ($15K) on a nissan or ~$100 K ($20K) on a chevy, what do you do??

If you're paying over MSRP for a Chevrolet, you've got more money than brains. The dealers are discounting '08 Z06's in the Bay area.

Are they smoking crack?!? You know what...some fool will end up coughing that scratch up to be the first. I hope they rot at the stealership...I don't care how fast any car is...a markup of 40K is ridiculous.

Tell that to the
ferrari fans who are paying $150K to $200K over MSRP for the 599GTB. For that kind of money, I would buy a used Carrera GT and still have money left over.

Nice car - that intercooler looks quite sweet and awesome brakes... But I would get rid of the glass on the bonnet (aka hood). Looks like greased lightning ... a bit too flash.
The charcoal grey looks awesome - very 559 like.
Mbe we can use its intercooler on our wagons!!!!

There is a vid of the ZR1 hot lapping Laguna Seca on the Viper forum.....car and exhaust sound amazing!!....I really don't think the ZR1 owners are going to care how much interior plastic there is (though it is supposed to have an upgraded interior).

A stereotype is a simplified and/or standardized conception or image with specific meaning, often held in common by members of a group. A stereotype can be a conventional and oversimplified conception, opinion, or image. Stereotypes can range from those that are wildly inaccurate and negative to those that are more than a little bit true and may even shed positive light upon the group of individuals. They are typically generalizations based on minimal or limited knowledge about a group to which the person doing the stereotyping does not belong.
